Spa Serene

I am on the lookout for a new massage therapist to see regularly, as mine moved out of the area. I’m just not myself without regular massages… so it’s been a tough time for me. No, really.
Anyway, I tried Spa Serene and truly enjoyed the experience. It was relaxing, all the staff was extremely friendly and professional, and the massage and facial I received both felt amazing.
The only reason I probably won’t be back is because I found a different lady for facials who I really liked and still didn’t get what i needed out of the massage (I’m a distance runner, so it’s about functionality following the massage, not just the experience itself for me).
If you’re looking for a place to just relax that has great customer service and quality massages/​skin care… this is a good option.

Omgosh Helen! I just had a facial and eye lash perm again. I am going to an event in a few days and really need to look my very best. My face is super clean and glowing. My eyes are popping as usual. She always takes her time and is very precise in everything she does. I even had the self massager on my legs while I was getting facial. It knocks me out! She knows exactly how to make me relax-​from head to toe. I will be back, as usual. Thank you!

Helen is thee best! She is nice, passionate and very caring. She has her way of making her customers feel comforted and safe. The spa is a bit small but who needs a big space, if all you have are the people with big hearts??? There’s just wont have enough space for that!
Helen is warm and although her advices are the most general and typical, and often times the ones that we already know and been hearing, they are also the ones that we often forget and take for granted. She tells me to keep my skin hydrated with drinking water, instead of my coffee! Lol
Payment/​s-​prices are worth the pay. I always feel relax and unwind while in the spa. I have just tried the basic facial, cleanse my face and my pores, but is considering the peel and derma abrasion. But she recommends doing the peel on a Wednesday night so the peeling cam take place on a Friday til Sunday and be FRESH ON A MONDAY!
What would I do without Helen??? She’s just plain AWESOME

I am so overdue for a review of Spa Serene, this is my favorite place. I discovered Helen at her other business, A New Day Spa, further up the street, years ago & am so glad that I found her. She gives THE best facials I’ve ever had in my entire life. She’s let me try new facial treatments & sampled the products she sells, which are fantastic. Skin care is extremely important to me & I’ve been to numerous spas & hers is the best. She told me she was opening Spa Serene, so I decided to try it since it was a little bit closer to where I was living & also more affordable. I’ve had various masseuses there & the name of one I’ve had the most is escaping me at the moment, but she’s an older Asian woman who is very good & knows about pressure points. Then Julie came along & she’s the only masseuse I go to now. I used to only get Swedish massages & was afraid of trying anything else. But she turned me onto deep tissue, which does wonders for my rheumatoid arthritis. I also go to Helen for eye lash perms. I have typical straight Asian lashes that don’t want to curl in the right direction, so the perm is a great option if you don’t want to curl your lashes or wear mascara. It usually lasts about 3 months & looks very natural. Helen & her team are extremely hardworking, wonderful people. Spa Serene is the best place to go if you’re looking to treat yourself but don’t want to go broke doing it.

I had a great massage by kala? I think that was her name and it was great! Perfect pressure but let me tell you girlfriends flow was on point. She mentioned that they could remove a mole on my back– that I have hated forever and I asked if I could do it that day she said yeah! After my massage the owner zapped my mole off and it only felt like a sting! It cost $ 10 and it was off in like 20 seconds! Totes awesome. Also my massage was $ 39 and was great. My new fav spot.

I just finished a 1 hour deep tissue massage with Julie. It was amazing! She honestly gave me the best massage I’ve ever had. She applied the perfect amount of pressure, and really knew how to loosen up the really tight/​painful areas of my body. The massage area was beautiful, clean, and peaceful. Dark lighting made it very easy to relax, and soothing music was played the entire time. This has definitely become my new go-​to place for massage, I can’t wait to go back! Thank you, Julie!

This is the best SPA in the South Bay. The place is relaxing & worth every penny. Helen gives the best facials & massages she helped me clear my skin from acne that not even the dermatologist had. Helen introduced me to DADASHIE a line of product for acne with help clear my skin & Gommage the best facial scrub. Helen is very knowledgeable on what to do to improve your skin.

There isn’t anything not to love about this business, you get wonderful services for a very reasonable price. I have been here many times and am always so happy with how nice the staff is, how amazing their massages and facials are. Everyone is so sweet and respectful, really making you feel comfortable. The place is very clean and quiet, I have nothing bad to say about the business. They take their time and never rush you after your service is finished, it’s truly a great hidden gem for spa services.

I had an awesome massage with Stephanie. I asked for Swedish with light to medium pressure and she was perfect. She was very sweet and took care to make sure I was completely comfortable. The AC was blowing on me a bit but that is probably the building’s fault. Like most places they have that annoying flute music playing which I tried to tune out. I would definitely go back to Stephanie again.

This spa is lovely and Helen and staff are very sweet. I had permanent eyeliner done. Helen was careful and as gentle as possible for the eye. I wanted it very thick but she convinced me to start thinner since it is permanent. I was very pleased although I will get it thicker (included in the original price). I plan to get some other permanent make-​up as it looks natural and she is great. The price is average, but it is immaculately clean and classy there.

As always, Julie did a great job massaging away all the tightness in my body. I have an hour masasage appointment but requested to change it to 90-​minutes because I didn’t realize I was that stressed out. Good thing that Helen graciously accommodated my request since her bookings willl likewise be affected as I also have a facial with her afterwards… will definitely try the aqua peel facial next time since I missed the introductory email sent to me, just hope I can still avail of the promo price.

It was my first time going here and first time getting an eyelash perm. The lady that did my eyelashes was kind enough to fit me in earlier then my appointment and also did a great job! The price was reasonable and I will definitely be going back!

I was so excited to bring my daughter to Spa Serene for her first gel nails for her 17^th birthday. Miyako worked with her to determine exactly what colors and style would be perfect. My daughter was thrilled with her experience. Miyako takes her time to ensure each customer leaves satisfied.

I totally recomand this place. I had nail done with Miyako. She is very friendly and kind also do awsome job. How she design and doing nail art is amazing. I totally go again and recomand this place.

Tried out Spa Serene for a massage to relieve tight muscles that were causing headaches. What a great find! The masseuse was very skilled. The facility was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The full body massage was exactly that — from the top of the head to the end of the toes. Absolutely a great value in massage therapy. I had a chance to chat with Helen on the way out — I’m delighted to go to her spa for my massages.

I went in for a 1 hour body massage and it felt great, I forgot the name of my masseuse, she did a great job, I slept like a baby that night, lol. The atmosphere is relaxing and they try their best to be quiet, I was in a large room that had a few beds curtained off, the noise level was low to quiet. You can expect some customers coming in and being a tad loud when they talk so I hope the staff can work on shushing people or implementing a «Quiet» sign.
The staff is wonderful and Helen is great, I will totally be back.

I’m ADDICTED and can’t stop staring at my nails!
And I love it when everyone compliments my nails!
I heard that there was a small nail station at this spa and decided to check it out and must admit Miyako is the BEST NAILIST ever!
I’ve been to several other Japanese nail salons for their cute and creative gel nails but always seemed to come right off after paying such a high price.
I’ve been coming to Miyako for almost an year now due to her great artwork and service.
She’s patient, friendly and very professional!
Plus, she’s open til late so this is a HUGE PLUS!
If you have an idea in mind, she can deliver them or you can get and idea of the type of art you want by looking at her samples and the magazines she has.
Since I can be very indecisive, I tend to just tell her the color I’m feeling and my budget.
Since she’s very creative, her work is always PERFECT and never let’s me down.
She does 3D, glitter, rhinestones, stamps, holograms, etc. you name it I’m sure she has it and can provide!
For examples, you can see the pictures I’ve posted on here.
These gel nail starts at $ 35 and could go up to $ 80 depending on the design you want.
I normally spend about $ 45
The price may not be the cheapest you have seen but these gel manicures last at least 3 – 4 weeks and you get what you pay for.
Plus, if by any chance your nails chip off within a week, Miyako will fix them for you.
I had to go back to her once since I broke my nails (extension) — totally my fault, yet she was so sweet being super apologetic as if it was her fault that the nails were not glued on strong enough. Who does that? I seriously fell in love with her service since she truly cares about customer satisfaction.
It’s been hard scheduling an appointment with her lately so I suggest you call in advance for an appointment!

I haven’t tried many of the options on the menu but I can say that I’ll happily give the manicurist (Miyako) 7 stars if I could. Now I have been all over the salons in Orange County but never have I come across someone so genuine and personal (not to mention professional)!!
The room she does your nails is a cozy yet luxurious space where you know you’re in a spa and not just any salon. I am very happy to have found this place and will be dropping in for Miyako’s service more.
Thank you for the experience.

I love this massage place. I’ve gotten two massages here and both have been really good. I forget their names, but everytime I go in there, they are super nice to me.
The massages are really good, the masseuses know what they’re doing and it really alleviated my back pain.
It’s also a great price for the quality.

Went for the 1^st time and had the facial and massage special. Added microdermabrasion to the facial and it was wonderful. Skin felt so nice, moisturized and fresh afterwards.
The massage was in a large room with probably 6 tables total, but I felt like mine was the only one in the room. The massage therapist really worked into my trouble spots on my back and still somehow managed to do a full body massage in an hour. I’m a massage therapist myself, so I’m pretty picky about my massages and I have to say I will be back!
